European Forestry Commission
Created in 1947, the European Forestry Commission (EFC) is one of six Regional Forestry Commissions established by FAO to provide a policy and technical forum for countries to discuss and address forest issues on a regional basis. It meets every two years. Every second session of the European Forestry Commission is held jointly with the session of the Committee on Forest and Forest Industry of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
The EFC has a number of associated subsidiary bodies, including the Working Party on the Management of Mountain Watersheds, UNECE/FAO Working Party on Forest Statistics, Economics and Management; and seven UNECE/FAO Teams of Specialists.
FAO encourages wide participation of government officials from forestry and other sectors as well as representatives of international, regional and subregional organizations that deal with forest-related issues in the region, including NGOs, and the private sector.
